My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Things I "Love"

This time of year when I find myself cooking and baking more I realize how much I enjoy kitchen "toys".
My DH bought me an Emeril Stainless Steel pots and pan set which I've waited for many years
(sorry for the picture quality)

Then for one of our anniversary's he bought me this wonderful thing that I've always wanted

(Exact color too)
I use it all the time. I have friends and family that own one and they told me they hardly use it because it's too heavy to move around or it doesn't scrap up at the bottom of the bowl, but I got it anyways and I LOVE it.
I have the perfect place on the counter for it so I don't have to move it around to use it.
Today I plan to make Gluten Free Cherry Walnut Oatmeal cookies and I'm using this baby for it.
DH also bought me a Knife set that we purchased at Kohl's, it's the Food Network brand of stainless steel knives, I couldn't find a picture of it, but oh my, I didn't realize how dull my other knives were until I pulled these babies out.
On the first try I sliced a nail off!
Don't worry, no bleeding involved, thank goodness.
They slice like butter, it's amazing!
And last but NOT least my parents bought me this wonderful time saver

I use this Cuisinart all the time, I'd cry if it ever broke down.
So yes, I get excited about kitchen gadgets like I do about shoes and clothes, so I have to stay out of those stores.
What are your favorite Kitchen gadgets?
(I know I said in a previous post I won't be posting as much because of time, well, looks like I have some to spare)

  1. You sound like me...as soon as the garden and yardwork is done for the season, I start cooking and baking!
    I've been on the hunt for a Kitchen Aid mixer. Just trying to decide on which model. I think I'm going to get the Artisian (not sure which color, yet).
    I'd also like to get a food prcessor. At the old house, the kitchen was so tiny, we didn't have room for ANY fun gadgets...so I'm making up for it now. :-)
    Happy baking!
